We'll always think pretty graphics matter, a nice art style can age very well. Good clean graphics from the NES era are more then playable. But there are many old games that are just painful.
Super Mario Bros still looks fine today (1985)
Daggerfall does not (1996)
Basically if it's not a dull, pixelated, blurry, muddy mess it's fine. It's just the games that tried to go for a "realistic" art style back in the 90's that are painful. They tried to put in too much detail, cleaner simpler graphics age much better.
